Apple Approves Nvidia eGPU Driver, Regular Macs Can Now Handle AI Large Model Tasks

For AI developers using Macs, running large language models often required specialized hardware—now this limitation has been broken. Apple has approved Nvidia external GPU (eGPU) drivers to run on Apple silicon platforms. The driver developed by Tiny Corp has a greatly simplified installation process, no need to disable system integrity protection to use it.

This driver is mainly for AI large model computing; regular Mac devices are expected to complete training or inference tasks under certain restrictions without relying on dedicated devices like tinybox. Additionally, with the rise of AI agents like OpenClaw, demand for high-end Macs has surged, leading Apple to adjust Mac Studio memory configurations and raise prices for some versions.
